Ooh, a kitten!

[halfcocked]

Uh-huh~ [rolling over to look at him] --Who're you?

[man_vs_food]

I'm a prince! Prince Soma of Bengal.

[halfcocked]

I don't really give a shit about that. You new?

[man_vs_food]

Oi, there's no need to be rude. As a matter of fact, I am!

[halfcocked]

I wasn't! You'd know if I was being rude. Huh, we got a lot of new people.

Perhaps they are here for the pollen-filled American air I've heard so much about!

[halfcocked]

You mean pollution? Here, I got a ribbon too, he loves that!

[man_vs_food]

It's so different from England and India... ooh, yes, give me that!

[offers ribbon!] Don't think this is what all of America is like! This part of America sucks!

[man_vs_food]

Ahh, does that mean you are American? Tell me what it is like, then!

[halfcocked]

Yeah, but this is like modern America, and I'm from 100 years ago or so, so it's not the same for me!

[man_vs_food]

Modern? 100 years ago?

[halfcocked]

Yeah, it's 2010 here, but it's way before that back home. . . . Hey, wait, you're from India!

[man_vs_food]

2010!? It's only 1888 back home! How does that happen??

--And I already told you that! I'm from Bengal!

[halfcocked]

That's in India, right? I've been there! So--can you make curry? Oh, and no one knows how it happens, it just does! So we're both from the past.
